Useful: Watch Live International Streaming TV in Dalian

I've never applied with the PSB and other relevant authorities to get an international TV card, it's never seemed worth the hassle to watch BBC Worldwide.   The Internet has changed they was I perceive news and seek to be informed and entertained.  But I still miss being able to tune into BBC2 at a set time to watch low budget sci-fi, that part of scheduled entertainment will forever be ingrained in my habits, entertainment on demand does, to an extent, strip the expectation and suspense from the enjoyment on a show.  And sometimes it's just plain annoying not to have streaming TV to potato-out to, CCTV9 and poorly dubbed Korean dramas do not cut it.

So imagine my surprise when I stuck my head into an office to see one person watching a random Japanese game show and another watching Bloomberg TV, live, on their computers.

JLC's Internet TV is a cunningly fantastic bit of software that allows anyone to watch streaming TV from a huge amount of countries, each country has a wide amount of choice (it's not exhaustive, but the big ones are all there).  The software seems very much word-of-mouth, I've seen it little reported or blogged about.

Anyone should take care on installing any new software on their computer.  Saying that, clicking around on their website (and others) revealed nothing highly malicius and I've seen nothing suggesting their motives are alterior.  In any case, use your own judgement and not mine.  Here's the download: Download.
